[Verse 1]
Bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me reefer when I want to get high
Bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me reefer when I want to get high
Well you know when I'm lonely
Bring my woman, set her right down here by my side

[Verse 2]
Mick Jagger, should be no law
On people that want to smoke a little dope
Shouldn't be no law
For people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know it's good for your head
And it relax your body, don't you know?

[Verse 1]
Gimme champagne when I'm thirsty (What?)
Gimme reefer when I want to get high (That's it, that's it)
Gimme champagne when I'm thirsty
Gimme reefer when I want to get high (You're right)
Well you know when I'm lonely
Bring my woman, set her right down here by my side

[Interlude]
Well I see no reason why, I see no reason why
Sure I wanna smoke a little dope
Whenever I want it baby
Set my woman right down here by my side

[Spoken Word: Muddy Waters]
Hey! Hey! Hey everybody! Everybody! I have this verse I want y'all to hear. I want you to hear this verse. Keep it going like this

[Verse 3]
Everytime I get high
I lay my head down on my baby's breast
Everytime I get high
I lay my head down on my baby's breast
Well you know I lay down be quiet
Tryin' so hard to take my rest

We goin' back down there again

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna get high
Gonna get high just as sure Amy name
I'm gonna get high
Gonna get high just as sure as my name
Well you know I'm gonna stick with my reefer
Ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine

[Outro]

[Spoken Word: Muddy Waters]
No cocaine! Thank you! Thank you very much!

[Instrumental Jam]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
